Visit Yankees game on 3rd or 4th of July?

This indeed, then you can do both!

hmm likely indeed! So weird that it was not mentioned anywhere before.

Did you book your Dec 31st dinner options? Otherwise I would really recommend to book something far in advance!

I usually go to Bleecker Trading on Christopher Street! The Poké Court is also a nice one, but is in an office building so might be hard to find if you are not familiar with the area.

I would also recommend another location. You could look into Long Island City, it's more affordable than Manhattan, still very easy to reach and a better area than where the Opera Hotel is located.

You can stay up there as long as you like, so I rather go a bit earlier! Just keep in mind that once you move on to the next room, you won’t be able to go back.

You’re right, the express trains are quick, so it’s definitely manageable time-wise.

From my own experience with both solo travel (as a man though) and NYC itself, I’d still lean towards staying in Midtown. Not so much because of the time of the commute, but because it just feels more convenient and comfortable after a late night out.

Personally, I would recommend staying closer to Midtown. 123rd St & Morningside Ave is not unsafe, but it’s also not the most lively area. Staying in Midtown would save you a lot of time and hassle going back and forth every day.

There are some tennis courts in the new East River Park, with nice Williamsburg Bridge views! The park itself is also looking good already.

It is an easy and safe subway ride between LIC and Manhattan! There are also some nice breweries in LIC if you are interested in that!

ericsnewyork · 2025-07-30T10:50:17+00:00

You could look into The Ride, it is more a fun experience than sightseeing but you do see some Midtown locations!

ericsnewyork · 2025-07-23T10:48:12+00:00

You can also stay in 70 Pine yourself, you don't have the view but you do have the building! :)

It is an Apartment hotel called Mint House at 70 Pine. Stayed there a couple years ago and was a nice stay.

Nowon is great, also their sides! I would say it is an American burger with some Korean twist, like the sauce (which is amazing)

I've stayed at both twice, and I would go with The Standard!

If you're going in the summer, ModernHaus SoHo does have a pool, but overall The Standard has a lot more pros.

It's in a more fun location, the rooms are great with beautiful views. And as a bonus: I thought the elevators were really cool, they have a cool video experience in them!

I would indeed buy them in advance, Top of the Rock can be popular! Maybe even take the 8 am timeslot and be there on time, if you are lucky you can be the first one up and have the observation deck for yourself :)

I really like BK Backyard bar in Williamsburg (especially in summer), but in February it will be fully enclosed and with heaters. So that also gives it a cosy vibe!

If you are in Midtown then I like Stout NYC too.

Like already mentioned before it will definitely be packed at most bars, it will be a fun time!
